Hi Mike. Andy Price, 21 Fairfield. Had my first error message on my new Baxi 600 today. A02.06 low pressure at 0.7 bar. I followed the instructions on the sticker to use the green lever to increase the pressure to between 1.0 and 1.5. Left it at 1.2 bar. I think that's really good considering it was a new installation in April. Very easy to adjust pressure, compared to other boilers I've had and the sticker on the front is really useful. Very pleased with this system and your workmanship. If you need a positive review or reference, I'm your man. 🙂

The unfortunate truth of owning and running a business.
Running a business is really hard.
What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe stress and anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression in even the most laid-back people.
People will talk about you, compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person anymore.
People will expect discounts and people will value you and your hard work less than a big chain store.
You have to worry about if you forget to email/message someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages and emails.
Starting up and running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work life balance. You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All whilst being a parent, a provider, family support, friend, spouse...
There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5-10 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed. It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control.
Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives. Be kind, be patient, support small businesses…….and hopefully more of us will stick around!
